Description
The Nike Air Max 95 SB Cactus Flower marks a bold evolution of a classic silhouette, reimagined through a skateboarding lens for the model’s 30th anniversary. Preserving the distinctive gradient panels of Sergio Lozano’s original design, this version fuses Summit White, Cool Grey, and striking Cactus Flower pink tones across suede, leather, and breathable mesh layers. Accented by vibrant lace loops and Air units tinted in magenta, it captures the energy of both the skatepark and the streets with effortless balance.
Engineered for adaptability, the SB reinterpretation includes padded ankles, enhanced heel support, and a gum outsole adapted for optimal grip and control. The cushioning system integrates a re-tuned Air Max midsole designed to bring the foot closer to the board, ensuring improved balance without compromising impact protection. Nike SB branding appears on the heel, tongue, and even embedded within the Air bubbles, highlighting the design’s hybrid identity.
A testament to innovation and heritage, this edition bridges the gap between performance and street style. Its combination of retro aesthetics and modern function positions it as a key piece within Nike’s ongoing dialogue between sport and subculture.
Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.
- General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.
- Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
